From one of my favorite local restaurants, Venetto Trattoria, in Scottsdale, AZ. Everyone loves this salad and they kindly shared the recipe with me. Ingredients:
8 chicken breasts (6 oz. each) |

chopped fresh parsley |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Marinate chicken in chopped garlic, parsley and olive oil.
2. Cook 10 oz. of sliced mushrooms with 2 cups of water until reduced to one half.
3. Liquefy in food processor and strain.
4. While mushroom mixture is still warm, add butter and stir until creamy.
5. Add salt and pepper to taste and keep warm.
6. Slice remaining 8 oz. mushrooms thinly.
7. Grill chicken and slice thinly.
